In theWorld
No man who gives careful thought to the lasting qualities of a roof will use
the old style wooden shingle, which soon rots away and must be replaced, or
burns up, house and all. Our metal shingles have come into almost universal
use because they are durable—ornamental
—
toatervroof, fireproof and trouble proof —eliminate repair costs—reduce insurance rates.
We manufacture by far the best line of metal shingles in the world, and
our long experience is shown in the superior merit of our products—we've made
a study of metal shingles, and know how to make them right. The various
patterus and grades give ample range for a selection that will meet any idea of
style or cost.
" NFW PFNTIIRY" Our well-known, standard metal shingle, now cover-ing
more than 250 acres of roofs. A design that har-mouizes
with any style of architecture.
" DflRIP" new pattern, made after the strong but chaste lines of Grecian
architecture. Very popular with architects and builders who prefer
simplicity of design.
"OLD ENGLISH TILE
" Another new pattern, and one that permits build-ers
to finish roofs in harmony with English archi-tecture.
Embossing is square at bottom as well as at top, giving an appearance
that closely resembles Old English tile. Write for Shingle Catalog No. 25.

Introductory
It is with a pride that is pardonable that the management of the Great
North Carolina State Fair points to its record of things achieved and suc-cesses
scored as the years roll around.
The official report of the State Fair of 1911 showed a condition of its affairs
that justifies any pride the people may feel in this honored and useful
institution.
Among permanent improvements in 1911, the Poultry Building was re-ported
fully paid for and easily the best of its kind on any Southern fair
grounds. Designed to harmonize with the concrete agricultural building
erected in 1910, it is of like dimensions—60 x 150 feet—perfectly lighted, and
of the most approved construction. In it were shown 830 birds, with compe-tition
limited for the first time to five Southern States.
This year patrons will find this handsome building completely equipped
with the newffit and best steel-wire coops. Special effort is being made to
make our poultry department one of the best in the whole country.
The Midway of 1911 was free from gambling and immoral shows. This
reform is herewith announced as permanent, with no backward step to be
permitted. And the record is of gain from concessions over 1910, the best
previous year.
The abolishment of complimentary passes and half-rate tickets met with
not only practically universal approval by the beneficiaries, but also even an
increase of $1,855.25 in gate receipts. This policy will of course be continued.
Separate entries by exhibitors reached the large total of 4,153, exceeding
the tremendous record of 1910 by 652, and in addition 117 race horses were
named.
The report of the Auditing Committee, Messrs. George Allen and Robert C.
Strong, was especially interesting. They took a brief review of expenditures
on the grounds since January, 1900, and found the following amounts had
been paid out:
For past due coupons, bonds paid, unpaid debts, and
premiums from previous fairs $13,000
Permanent buildings 17,000
City water, widening and macadamizing midway,
bleachers around race track 2,800
Stalls for race horses, show horses, cattle, sheep, and
swine, outside fence, and restaurant accommodations.
.
3,000
Roof and betterments Floral Hall and other buildings.
2,200
Other improvements, about 2,000
Total $40,000
The Carolina Coast Lime Company of New Bern, N. C, offers this year a
carload of ten tons of BROWN'S CAC03, agricultural lime, to be apportioned
as premiums for alfalfa, clover, peanuts, cotton, corn, wheat, and oats.
Mr. W. A. Simpkins has offered one hundred dollars in gold, to be divided
among the school farms in Wake County and boys of Wake outside of the
school farms, for the stalks of Simpkins' Prolific Cotton having the greatest
number of open bolls.
Through the State Board of Agriculture the State Fair management is
5
INTRODUCTORY.
enabled to announce a large increase in the premiums on tobacco. The
Board has contributed two hundred dollars in this department, and the North
Carolina Agricultural Society increases its money on tobacco to one hundred
and fifty dollars, making a total of three hundred and fifty dollars offered
for tobacco. The exhibits this year will be under the special charge of Col.
Jno. S. Cuningham and State Agronomist J. L. Burgess, and will be judged
by a tobacco expert.
In the Department of Horticulture an increase of one hundred and eleven
dollars in the money prizes will be noticed, bringing the total premiums on
fruit up to $482.50.
Superintendent Joyner, the Director of the Department of Education, hav-ing
determined to spare no efforts toward the gathering of exhibits at the
1912 Fair that will be really representative of the educational progress of the
State, has issued his circular letter to the various county superintendents,
urging that they send the best exhibits available. In addition, the city
schools will be well represented.
It is announced by Mr. I. O. Schaub, Vice-President for North Carolina of
the National Corn Exposition to be held at Columbia, S. C, January 27th to
February 8th, that the North Carolina State Fair and the Western North
Carolina Fair, at Asheville, have been selected as the fairs at which the com-petitive
exhibits from this State are to be chosen for the National Exposition.

CORN AND COTTON CONTESTS.
Repeating the special feature of the Fifty-first Great State Fair last October,
the Society announces for the Fifty-second Great State Fair, October 14-19,
1912, two corn contests, one for men and one for boys under eighteen years of
age on August 1, 1912; and also a cotton contest.
Instead of giving the premiums for the greatest amount of corn or cotton
grown to any one acre, the prizes are offered for the most prolific and best
exhibits, to consist in the case of the corn contest, of ten ears, accompanied
by six stalks with ears attached; and in the case of the cotton contest, to
consist of three stalks with open bolls attached.
In judging the corn, emphasis will be given to prolificacy, type of ears, and
type of stalk, and in judging the cotton emphasis will be given to prolificacy,
type of stalk and boll, and character and percentage of lint.
The premiums will be as follows:
CORN CONTEST.
For Men.
3. Most prolific and best exhibit, any variety, to consist of ten ears, accom-panied
by six stalks with ears attached, and without suckers.

NOTE.—It is provided that there must be at least ten entries in each of the
foregoing contests. Should there be less than that number of entries, the
judges will make suitable recommendations, and the Society will give proper
recognition to the most meritorious of the products exhibited. Corn or cotton
entered in these contests can not be entered for any other premium.
It is important that the public should know the varieties, and for that
reason each exhibit must bear an attached card, giving the name of the
variety of corn or cotton.

Made in the South
The farmers of the South need a farm paper that deals
with the conditions in the South—not one that is made to in-terest
the farmers of Maine, New York, Iowa, and the rest
of the United States, but one that deals with Southern prob-lems.
Made for You
The Progressive Farmer is made to cover conditions as
they are in the South. Yes, sir—made for you—and if you
will read and heed its teachings you will raise more cotton
per acre, more corn per acre, more and better live stock, and
make a money producing factory out of your farm.
Made for Your Wife
The Progressive Farmer has the strongest, most practical
household department of any agricultural paper in the South.
Its many features make a special appeal to our women read-ers
and helps them as it does the men.
Made for Your Children
The Progressive Farmer has a regular department for the
farm boys. Each year a young people's special and an edu-cational
special. Each year an offer of over $1,000 in prizes
for our Corn Club Boys.
Sample copies free. 10 weeks trial subscription, 10 cents

Department D—Horticulture
Director, W. N. HUTT, State Horticulturist.
As far as possible, it is desirable tbat horticultural exhibits be brought in,
set up, and entered by the growers. Where this is not possible, the committee
will be glad to receive, place on exhibit, and enter for premiums all suitable
horticultural products sent in. All exhibits competing for premiums must be
grown in this State.
In sending in fruit for exhibition, select only those specimens that are per-fect
in form and color and free from all insect and fungous blemishes. Do
not shake or knock off the fruit from the tree, but pick each specimen by
hand, taking care not to pull the stem out. Wrap each fruit separately in
paper, and pack firmly in box or barrel, taking every care to avoid bruising.
Label each variety and put in papers to keep varieties separate. Do not use
hay, fodder, excelsior or any other dusty material in packing. Nail up firmly
and direct to "State Fair, Department of Horticulture, Raleigh, N. C." Bar-rels
of apples to compete in class of commercial barrel pack must be faced
and headed. All other barrels may be closed with burlap cover.
At the opening of the Fair, plates for the variety exhibits of fruit will be
furnished free by the Secretary.
A perfect plate of fruit should contain five specimens, and no more (if pos-sible,
with stems attached) characteristic of the variety, of high color, of
uniform marketable size, free from cuts or bruises and all insect and fungous
blemishes. If additional specimens are sent in by growers, the committee
will select and place on exhibit the best possible plate to be made from all the
specimens submitted.
Commercial box apples should be graded to uniform size, of high color, free
from bruises and insect and fungous blemishes. They should be properly
packed in standard bushel boxes of 10% x 11% x 18 inches, inside measure-ment.
The boxes should be of soft, light woods, smooth sawed inside and
dressed outside. The ends are three-quarters of an inch thick, the sides three-eighths
of an inch, and the top and bottom one-quarter of an inch. The
attractiveness of the label will be taken into consideration.
Commercial barrel apples should be fairly uniform in size, of high color,
and free from bruises and insect or fungous blemishes. The standard apple
barrel contains approximately eleven pecks. Special attention will be given
to brands and labels.
The committee will see that each plate of fruit is plainly marked and cor-rectly
named and the entry tag attached to the same, so that the entry can
be identified by the judges without difficulty. A premium offered for a gen-eral
collection of fruit will not be awarded to a mere pile of apples or other
fruit, but must be for a real collection, arranged on plates of five each, and all
correctly labeled, and no fruit will be counted in a collection unless it is a fair
specimen of the variety. No trashy fruit of any kind will be counted merely
to make up a collection. A premium for the best collection of grapes, peaches,
or any other fruit, will not be awarded to a mere number, but to the quality
of the exhibit mainly. The committee will withhold premiums in any case
where there is no competition and the article is of inferior quality, and no
second premium will be given solely because there is no other exhibit but the
two, but all fruits must be of good quality. No attention will be paid by the
committee to any fruit or other exhibit that is not arranged in accordance
with these rules. The awards for fruits will be made on the afternoon of the
second day of the Fair, and all not then in place will be left out. No ex-hibitor
will be allowed to discuss exhibits with the committee, or to interfere
in any way while the committee is at work. To avoid all unnecessary walk-ing
to and fro on the part of the judges, the fruit exhibit must be arranged in
consecutive space near together, and not scattered about the buildings.

Greensboro Female College, one of the oldest and best

located in a beautiful campus of forty acres, at an elevation
i if eight hundred tVet above sea level.
The building is large and commodious, heated by steam,
lighted with electricity, and connected with the city water
system.
The College is well equipped with physical and chemical
laboratories, a well selected library of the best standard litera-ture
and reference books, and the best facilities in art and
music.
Advanced courses in Literary, Music, Art, Expression,
and Business Departments in charge of a competent faculty,
consisting of specialists in their several departments.
For catalogue, apply to
LUCY H. ROBERTSON, President
78
DEPARTMENT D��HORTICULTURE.
In the exhibits of exotic plants in pots, the plants competing for each pre-mium
must he arranged hy themselves, as the judges will not hunt among a
mass of plants to find the ones competing for special premiums, and no plant
in the professional class will be awarded a premium unless it is a well
grown specimen of its kind. In the premium for the best and largest assort-ment
of cut flowers each variety must be shown in a separate bottle of water
or other vessel to show them properly and keep them fresh, and no notice
will be taken of collections loosely thrown on the tables.
In the nomenclature of fruits, the names adopted by the American Porno-logical
Society will rule, and no variety will be accepted that has not been
admitted to their catalogue, except in the case of seedlings never before
exhibited. A pile of fruit brought for sale merely will not be allowed to count
in a general collection of fruit, as all fruit shown for premiums must be
arranged on plates and remain on them till the close of the Fair.
An especially attractive feature of this year's Horticultural Premium List
is the handsome and valuable trophy (shown elsewhere in list) given by the
management of the State Fair for the Grand Sweepstakes Prize in Horticul-ture.
This trophy, which is of solid silver, beautifully chased and embossed,
was made to order according to a special horticultural design. It is valued at
$100. It is useful as well as ornamental, for it is made in the form of a water
pitcher. On the front of the pitcher is a gold plate, on which will be inscribed
the names of the winners of the trophy until it is won twice by the same
party. The trophy will be awarded according to the following rules:
1. Trophy to be given at the State Fair as Grand Sweepstakes Prize for the
best general exhibit of fruit in North Carolina grown by one exhibitor.
2. Trophy to be won twice before becoming the property of the exhibitor,
and will be awarded according to the following schedule of points:
A. Commercial Display (boxed and barreled apples).
a. Freedom from insects and diseases 15 points
6. Uniformity of grade 15 points
c. Neatness of packages, labels, etc. 10 points
d. Color of fruit 10 points
B. Plate Display.
a. Freedom from insects and diseases 10 points
6. Uniformity 10 points
c. Color 10 points
C. Other Classes of Fruit Represented.
Pears 4 points
Peaches 4 points
Other fruits 4 points
Grapes 4 points
Total 100 points
No award is to be made unless, in the discretion of the judges, the exhibits
are of sufficient merit.
NOTE.—COLD STORAGE FOR EXHIBITION FRUIT.
A cold storage headquarters for exhibition fruit for the State Fair and the
National Horticultural Congress has been opened at Greensboro, N. C. All
fruit for these exhibitions sent prepaid to the Greensboro Ice and Coal Com-pany,
in care of W. N. Hutt, State Horticulturist, will be stored free of charge.

In theWorld
No man who gives careful thought to the lasting qualities of a roof will use
the old style wooden shingle, which soon rots away and must be replaced, or
burns up, house and all. Our metal shingles have come into almost universal
use because they are durable—ornamental
—
toatervroof, fireproof and trouble proof —eliminate repair costs—reduce insurance rates.
We manufacture by far the best line of metal shingles in the world, and
our long experience is shown in the superior merit of our products—we've made
a study of metal shingles, and know how to make them right. The various
patterus and grades give ample range for a selection that will meet any idea of
style or cost.
" NFW PFNTIIRY" Our well-known, standard metal shingle, now cover-ing
more than 250 acres of roofs. A design that har-mouizes
with any style of architecture.
" DflRIP" new pattern, made after the strong but chaste lines of Grecian
architecture. Very popular with architects and builders who prefer
simplicity of design.
"OLD ENGLISH TILE
" Another new pattern, and one that permits build-ers
to finish roofs in harmony with English archi-tecture.
Embossing is square at bottom as well as at top, giving an appearance
that closely resembles Old English tile. Write for Shingle Catalog No. 25.

Introductory
It is with a pride that is pardonable that the management of the Great
North Carolina State Fair points to its record of things achieved and suc-cesses
scored as the years roll around.
The official report of the State Fair of 1911 showed a condition of its affairs
that justifies any pride the people may feel in this honored and useful
institution.
Among permanent improvements in 1911, the Poultry Building was re-ported
fully paid for and easily the best of its kind on any Southern fair
grounds. Designed to harmonize with the concrete agricultural building
erected in 1910, it is of like dimensions—60 x 150 feet—perfectly lighted, and
of the most approved construction. In it were shown 830 birds, with compe-tition
limited for the first time to five Southern States.
This year patrons will find this handsome building completely equipped
with the newffit and best steel-wire coops. Special effort is being made to
make our poultry department one of the best in the whole country.
The Midway of 1911 was free from gambling and immoral shows. This
reform is herewith announced as permanent, with no backward step to be
permitted. And the record is of gain from concessions over 1910, the best
previous year.
The abolishment of complimentary passes and half-rate tickets met with
not only practically universal approval by the beneficiaries, but also even an
increase of $1,855.25 in gate receipts. This policy will of course be continued.
Separate entries by exhibitors reached the large total of 4,153, exceeding
the tremendous record of 1910 by 652, and in addition 117 race horses were
named.
The report of the Auditing Committee, Messrs. George Allen and Robert C.
Strong, was especially interesting. They took a brief review of expenditures
on the grounds since January, 1900, and found the following amounts had
been paid out:
For past due coupons, bonds paid, unpaid debts, and
premiums from previous fairs $13,000
Permanent buildings 17,000
City water, widening and macadamizing midway,
bleachers around race track 2,800
Stalls for race horses, show horses, cattle, sheep, and
swine, outside fence, and restaurant accommodations.
.
3,000
Roof and betterments Floral Hall and other buildings.
2,200
Other improvements, about 2,000
Total $40,000
The Carolina Coast Lime Company of New Bern, N. C, offers this year a
carload of ten tons of BROWN'S CAC03, agricultural lime, to be apportioned
as premiums for alfalfa, clover, peanuts, cotton, corn, wheat, and oats.
Mr. W. A. Simpkins has offered one hundred dollars in gold, to be divided
among the school farms in Wake County and boys of Wake outside of the
school farms, for the stalks of Simpkins' Prolific Cotton having the greatest
number of open bolls.
Through the State Board of Agriculture the State Fair management is
5
INTRODUCTORY.
enabled to announce a large increase in the premiums on tobacco. The
Board has contributed two hundred dollars in this department, and the North
Carolina Agricultural Society increases its money on tobacco to one hundred
and fifty dollars, making a total of three hundred and fifty dollars offered
for tobacco. The exhibits this year will be under the special charge of Col.
Jno. S. Cuningham and State Agronomist J. L. Burgess, and will be judged
by a tobacco expert.
In the Department of Horticulture an increase of one hundred and eleven
dollars in the money prizes will be noticed, bringing the total premiums on
fruit up to $482.50.
Superintendent Joyner, the Director of the Department of Education, hav-ing
determined to spare no efforts toward the gathering of exhibits at the
1912 Fair that will be really representative of the educational progress of the
State, has issued his circular letter to the various county superintendents,
urging that they send the best exhibits available. In addition, the city
schools will be well represented.
It is announced by Mr. I. O. Schaub, Vice-President for North Carolina of
the National Corn Exposition to be held at Columbia, S. C, January 27th to
February 8th, that the North Carolina State Fair and the Western North
Carolina Fair, at Asheville, have been selected as the fairs at which the com-petitive
exhibits from this State are to be chosen for the National Exposition.

CORN AND COTTON CONTESTS.
Repeating the special feature of the Fifty-first Great State Fair last October,
the Society announces for the Fifty-second Great State Fair, October 14-19,
1912, two corn contests, one for men and one for boys under eighteen years of
age on August 1, 1912; and also a cotton contest.
Instead of giving the premiums for the greatest amount of corn or cotton
grown to any one acre, the prizes are offered for the most prolific and best
exhibits, to consist in the case of the corn contest, of ten ears, accompanied
by six stalks with ears attached; and in the case of the cotton contest, to
consist of three stalks with open bolls attached.
In judging the corn, emphasis will be given to prolificacy, type of ears, and
type of stalk, and in judging the cotton emphasis will be given to prolificacy,
type of stalk and boll, and character and percentage of lint.
The premiums will be as follows:
CORN CONTEST.

3. Most prolific and best exhibit, any variety, to consist of ten ears, accom-panied
by six stalks with ears attached, and without suckers.

NOTE.—It is provided that there must be at least ten entries in each of the
foregoing contests. Should there be less than that number of entries, the
judges will make suitable recommendations, and the Society will give proper
recognition to the most meritorious of the products exhibited. Corn or cotton
entered in these contests can not be entered for any other premium.
It is important that the public should know the varieties, and for that
reason each exhibit must bear an attached card, giving the name of the
variety of corn or cotton.

Made in the South
The farmers of the South need a farm paper that deals
with the conditions in the South—not one that is made to in-terest
the farmers of Maine, New York, Iowa, and the rest
of the United States, but one that deals with Southern prob-lems.
Made for You
The Progressive Farmer is made to cover conditions as
they are in the South. Yes, sir—made for you—and if you
will read and heed its teachings you will raise more cotton
per acre, more corn per acre, more and better live stock, and
make a money producing factory out of your farm.
Made for Your Wife
The Progressive Farmer has the strongest, most practical
household department of any agricultural paper in the South.
Its many features make a special appeal to our women read-ers
and helps them as it does the men.
Made for Your Children
The Progressive Farmer has a regular department for the
farm boys. Each year a young people's special and an edu-cational
special. Each year an offer of over $1,000 in prizes
for our Corn Club Boys.
Sample copies free. 10 weeks trial subscription, 10 cents
;
6 months, 55 cents. It comes every week—one entire year,
$1.00—only 2 cents a week.
